Blackout – I did not blackout last night. I didn’t even think of this comic last night, rather it was many weeks ago. I don’t know why, but I felt that was important to say. I have blacked out before. In fact I did blackout last night, but it was from sleep, not alcohol. That biological necessary loss of conscious that afflicts us all. It is possible that I thought of this comic the morning after blacking out. Or maybe it was during a night of heavy drinking where I thought of the concept of blacking out, but didn’t quiet. I don’t remember thinking of the comic, just the comic itself. As mentioned alcohol was involved. I don’t like blacking out. You’d think that would stop me from drinking. It doesn’t. I try to avoid blacking out, but not by slowing down my drinking. A paradoxical balancing act. I do enjoy sleep though. As for Stoke, there was enjoyment in blacking out. After all has Stoke ever said something was nice before? It almost doesn’t seem like something Stoke would say and it is telling what it was said about. Stoke should enjoy the brief reprise from sentience. After all it is rare relief and for Stoke it is going to be a long existence. – Zachary
